Respectful Behaviours

The Department of Education and Training has released a Respectful Behaviours within the School Community Policy that describes the positive behaviour expected from parents, carers, and other adults in Victorian school communities. The policy sets clear standards of behaviour to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for students, staff and adults. 

You may also see a poster up around our school, promoting positive behaviour. 

Essendon North Primary School expects that all parents/carers and visitors to our school behave in an appropriate and respectful manner to school staff at all times. There will be a zero tolerance approach to any aggression, intimidation, threats or harassment of school staff, by any means (e.g. in person, by phone, by email, on social media etc). These behaviours may lead to exclusion from school grounds and school activities. 

The Principal may report aggressive, intimidating, threatening or otherwise inappropriate conduct to Victoria Police. The Department of Education and Training may also take legal or other appropriate action against community members or parents/carers who pose a threat to the safety and wellbeing of school staff. 

Please see our Respect for School Staff policy for further information.
